Direct transformations of diarylketones to hetero- and carbofunctionalized diarylmethanes have been developed. The reactions involve a phospha-Brook rearrangement of diphenylphosphine oxide with diarylketones, followed by substitutions with various nucleophiles such as amides, amines, phenols, thiols, and diborylmethane under palladium catalysis to afford the corresponding functionalized diarylmethanes in a reductive manner.

二芳基酮的脱氧杂官能化和碳官能化


已经开发了二芳基酮直接转化为杂官能化和碳官能化二芳基甲烷的方法。该反应涉及二苯基氧化膦与二芳基酮的磷-布鲁克重排，然后在钯催化下用各种亲核试剂（例如酰胺、胺、酚、硫醇和二硼基甲烷）取代，以还原方式得到相应的官能化二芳基甲烷。
